Temporary Faecal Diversion for Refractory Perianal and/or Distal Colonic Crohn's Disease in the Biologic Era: An Updated Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. In the biologic era, temporary FD for refractory perianal and/or distal colonic CD improves symptoms half the patients, and bowel continuity can be successfully restored in a quarter of patients. |

Improvements in dietary intake, behaviors, and psychosocial measures in a community-randomized cardiovascular disease risk reduction intervention: Strong Hearts, Healthy Communities 2.0. SHHC-2.0 has strong potential to improve diet patterns and diet-related psychosocial wellbeing consistent with improved cardiovascular health. Registered at on 23 February 2017 (NCT03059472). |
School-based supplementation with iron-folic acid or multiple micronutrient tablets to address anemia among adolescents in Burkina Faso: a cluster-randomized trial. Results do not provide strong evidence that weekly IFA or daily MMS supplementation alone is effective, but supplementation may play a role in addressing adolescent anemia if combined with co-interventions. Additional research is required to determine the best strategy to address anemia. Clinical trial registry ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04657640 TRIAL REGISTRATION Identifier NCT04657640, registered December 8, 2020. |

Factors Associated With Response to Rescue Therapy in Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis. Response to rescue therapy can be predicted by several specific factors, which would aid clinical decision-making. Existing and emerging factors should be integrated within predictive and prognostic models to help improve clinical outcomes. |
Predictors of Hospital-related Outcomes of COVID-19 Infection in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the Early Pandemic Phase: A Nationwide Inpatient Database Survey. Patients with IBD and COVID-19 have worse outcomes, with a higher incidence of severe COVID-19 disease, leading to higher mortality rates, longer lengths of stay, and increased total hospitalization costs. Encouraging preventive health measures and treating promptly with advanced COVID-19 therapies may improve outcomes and decrease the healthcare burden. |

Validation of the IBD-Control Questionnaire across different sociodemographic and clinical subgroups: Secondary analysis of a nationwide electronic survey. IBD-Control-8 is a psychometrically robust scale which can be used across a range of populations. It offers a quick, reliable and valid method of assessing patient-perceived control. The construct of "control" includes traditional HRQoL and a novel domain relating to treatment perception. |

Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury: From trigger loading to shot firing. It is possible to compare this process to a shooting gun, where the loading trigger is the ischemia period and the firing shot is the reperfusion phase. In this optic, this article aims at reviewing the main ischemic events following the phases of the surgical timeline, considering the consequent reperfusion damage. |
Role of protein induced by vitamin-K Absence-II in transplanted patients with hepatocellular cancer not producing alpha-fetoprotein. PIVKA-II secretion is a relevant risk factor for post-LT HCC recurrence. The role of this marker is independent of the AFP status. Combining both tumor markers, especially in the setting of LT, should be of great relevance for adding information about predicting the post-LT risk of tumor recurrence and selecting these patients for transplantation. |

Lactated Ringer's or Normal Saline for Initial Resuscitation in Patients Hospitalized With Acute Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Database Analysis. In this study, we demonstrate an association between use of LR as initial resuscitation fluid and reduced 1-year mortality in a large retrospective sample of veterans hospitalized with AP. These results support the use of LR for resuscitation for most patients hospitalized with AP. |
Pancreatic Acinar Cystic Transformation: Familial Forms Do Exist. Further research, with high throughput sequencing technologies, may elucidate genetic polymorphisms explaining potential ACT familial phenotype. In practice, careful family history collection must be performed to identify a possible familial form of ACT when this diagnosis is proposed. |
Successful Development of a Natural Language Processing Algorithm for Pancreatic Neoplasms and Associated Histologic Features. Natural language processing algorithms can be used for pancreatic pathologies. Increased training volume, nonoverlapping terminology, and conserved text structure improve NLP algorithm performance. |

Bone health in children with recurrent and chronic pancreatitis: A multi-center cross sectional analysis. Children with ARP or CP have lower height and BMD than healthy peers. Attention to deficits in growth and bone mineral accrual in children with pancreatic disease is warranted. |
